If data would be stored on external SD card, they'd risk people extract it using a card reader — so unless every download is encrypted, that's rather unlikely. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google.

Nov 19, 1 0 0. I told my phone to download the video on my 16GB sd card which is mounted. But then once the download begins I got a notification about insufficient storage. My internal storage had only 3GB left. Hence I realised that the video was being downloaded to the internal storage instead of my sd card.

How do I fix this? Nov 19, 17 0 I've had success formatting the sd card as internal storage, worth looking in settings for. Might just be an HTC thing though.

Similar threads Solved! Apps and all downloads saved to Internal storage and not across shared formatted SD card Solved! The SD card works just fine for music, video and pictures, but there are too many problems installing apps on it.

Now I only install apps on the internal storage. The HD 8 has 16gb of storage, which seems to be enough for now. Thanks for writing this very complete article. I personally have never had any issues with using an SD card with either of my Fire Tablets. I like that it allows moving apps to the SD card so easily. Can anyone help? How do you use apps already on an sd card to a fire tablet 5. I just bought a 32gb pny as card it clicks in and shows it in the settings but it will not let me transfer or download anything to it.

Any help? You also do not have a way to move games over to the SD Card. Still trying to get photos taken with camera to automatically store on sd card.

Still trying to get camera photos taken to automatically store on the sd card. I saved all my apps to the SD card before restoring o factory default. I think your tip for using a file explorer will solve my problem, thanks. I have all the toggles enabled so that apps, music, books, audiobooks, etc.

Up until now, this was working very well. I have 12gb left on the SD card, and 5gb left in internal memory. However, now nothing will save onto the SD card. I can retrieve everything already on the card with no problem. This even happens with attempts to download Kindle book samples, which should save to the SD card easily, as they always have. Turns out the SD card had gotten corrupted. Amazon sent me a new SD card and now everything works fine. However I have decided that the next tablet I buy will have at least 32GB of internal memory because dealing with SD cards is a pain.

Their recommended card, nope, outside card card, nope…though both are sandisk…. I have 2 older Kindle Fire 7 tablets. I put 16gb SD cards in both of them. I think this is because of licensing issues, same as Android. The SD card works well for installing most apps, but not all of them. They also have a feature I just noticed, which goes the opposite direction. Hi Katy.

Do you know how to retrieve files from Amazon Cloud after pressing the Archive Now button? Tap the desired application to enter its "App info" screen, select the "Permission" entry, and enable "Storage," if it isn't already.

You then need to open the app in question and proceed in its settings. In the case of the Plex app, you will need to update the "sync" option to move data to the expanded storage. For Netflix, you will be changing the "Download Location" from internal to external storage. You may have to restart the app or even your device before the new download location shows up. Configuring SD storage settings for Plex top Netflix bottom.

Finally, to force these changes to take effect, completely shut down any apps you adjusted and restart them again. Your apps, like Netflix and Plex, will now be able to use your external SD card to store downloads.
